While modern Kings do not claim divinity, a large number of them do retain control over their country’s religion either directly, as in the case of the British Monarch who is the head of the Anglican Church or indirectly as in the case of Saudi Arabia where the House of Saud is able to influence the religious practices through the clergy. It may surprise many to know that the Indi...
